Next nominee so we can retire O'Connor (let the nominee be conservative).

I missed Kerry's vote. Was he late? and voted 'nay', I'm guessing?

NAahhhh...they have to run now to figure out how to cut the Defense budget...that's their next bit of business- watch the libs try to get fiscally conservative when it comes to $$$ for defense.

Congratulations, President Bush, on an excellent pick and an outstanding job on the confirmation!

Even Ann Coulter seems to have come around.

That was a fast vote.

I thought they'd drag it out at leat an hour.

You'll note that they are all fleeing for the exits to get to the microphones. Standing between a US Senator and a microphone could be the most dangerous place on the planet.

Regards,

TS

The president will congratulate Roberts today.

He could announce the new nominee tomorrow right at the end of the day on Friday to beat the news cycle and hit the country with preemptive media buys/bio's over the weekend.

Did you hear Bill Hemmer gasping the word Catholic?


He was one tiny step from the old Kluxer pronunciation: CATH-uh-lik.
